Children who have taken our lessons at this stage have advanced their four swimming strokes further than most parents could ever have imagined.

The sense of achievement is enormous for a child with the joy of mastering the Frontcrawl smoothly with a hidden intake of breath, the satisfaction of doing Backstroke, employing the correct body position and just slipping through the water, the grace of Breaststroke using the correct timing and achieving maximum propulsion and the satisfaction of swimming Butterfly and merely gliding through and over the water. This provides proof of the progress that can be made.

Parents of the children who have reached this level of competence will confirm that, through good and professional coaching and teaching they have witnessed their child achieving and perfecting extremely complex skills. Each squad at this stage makes full use of the pool. Given that all the children are at the same or very similar level, we can take them out of the main swimming lessons process and advance them onto specific stroke development work.
